The Season is the Reason

Hello, All!

 First of all, I apologize.  I am not the best communicator.   Mom was the one who wrote the letters and sent the cards but some of you have said you miss my emails...hence the title, "The Season is the Reason"   It's a good time to get in touch.  I have no good excuse for not publishing a Blog this past year other than to say things have been happening so fast it's been difficult for me to keep up.  As some of you know, I have no television...which I appreciate.... but have allowed the computer and Facebook to take much of my time.  I forget there are some who are not yet on Facebook... and some who are members but never use it.  So I guess it's time to resurrect the Blog.  However, there are a few sites... I have a few... on Facebook you might want to access.

Going to "Connie's Books" will tell you I had two books published the beginning of this year... Bird on the Wing of God and In the Light.  Both are available on Amazon.com.  Throughout the year I have been working on another with the working title of "Try a Little Orange".  Which leads me to my latest site addition to FB, "Another Way of Seeing".  This is the result of a series of painting workshops for which I received very specific directions.  You might be interested in some of the paintings, comments etc..

Another very active site is "Student Work".  It is here I publish the finished work of my painting students and... of course... brag of their achievements.  A few have been actively selling their work and I am very proud of them.

Those of you who are retired know what I mean when I say I'm busier now than I ever was when I was working... even with two jobs.  My calendar is full.  The good thing is, it's not full with "have to's" but "want to's".  Except for doctor appointments of course.  I hope to schedule knee replacement surgery in January and in March will receive my final set of dentures.  Looking forward to eating steak.  All in all my health is good.  Just dealing with chronic knee and hip pain but it's doable.

My workshops are going well and I expect the "Another Way of Seeing" workshops to continue to grow,  A very talented friend, Loren Kitchens, is helping me clean house by putting some of my paintings on clearance through YouTube video and other venues.  I am grateful!

Looking forward to hearing from you all soon!  God bless you!  Merry Christmas and a very happy and healthy 2019!
